Good evening, this is Mr. Brand, Principal at Peterson-Central Elementary, with a reminder about our classroom parties and shuttle service tomorrow, Friday, October 30.
Students are invited and encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes to school tomorrow. Masks and costume accessories may be brought to school but should only be worn or used during the classroom parties. Please remember that toy weapons, swords, or similar items are not permitted.
Due to very limited parking on campus, we are asking all families to use our shuttle service. Please park at the old Kroger parking lot in Market Place, located in front of the Super 8. The shuttle pickup area will be at the corner of the building along the sidewalk, where staff will be available to assist you. Shuttle buses will begin running at 12:30 PM and will continue throughout the event to transport families back to their vehicles.
When you arrive at PCES, please enter through the cafeteria doors to sign in and pick up your name tag. Families will be released to classrooms beginning at 12:55 PM.
Our classroom parties will take place from 1:00 to 2:00 PM. If you plan to take your child home afterward, you may sign them out directly from their classroom. Students are also welcome to ride the shuttle back with their families, so there is no need to return to the school for pickup.
Our guest list is finalized, name tags are ready, and we're looking forward to a fun afternoon with our Wildcat families!
Thank you for helping us make this a safe and enjoyable event for everyone. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
